When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Parking Lot

"Xiao Xue, is the cat alive?"

Lu Hong pressed his fingertip against his glasses and hissed softly.

"The cat is alive."

A stiff voice came from the communicator.

"Where did it come alive?"

"At..."

Xue Mo hadn't finished speaking when Xiang Beifei's voice rang out through the communicator.

"Uncle Lu, come quick! Something's not right here! I saw him!"

"Beifei!"

Lu Hong was shocked and called out urgently, "Beifei, where are you?"

"Parking lot! Parking lot!"

"Hit the Azure Light Armor, give me your position!"

"The Azure Light Armor is shattered!"

"What? He attacked you? I'm on my way."

Lu Hong turned and dashed toward the stairs; as he descended, he nearly took two floors at once, his speed reaching the limit.

——

"In the parking lot?"

Chen Gang, who had disguised himself as Lu Zhiwei, flickered slightly as his gaze shifted. He had just used Xue Mo's voice to try to send Lu Hong to the cinema to find him, but unexpectedly, Beifei had suddenly run off to the parking lot.

What was Beifei doing in the parking lot?

But he didn't think too much of it, as in his eyes, Beifei was just a bumbling youngster who didn't know anything.

Now that he was Lu Zhiwei and knew Lu Hong was heading to the parking lot, all he had to do was go there and kill him.

The parking lot had few people, making it more convenient to destroy the body and erase any traces.

He glanced at his system panel—

[You have accessed Lu Zhiwei's cognition of Lu Hong, and the kill rate of Thousand Faces Slash Moon (targeting Lu Hong) is 75.2%]

Even Lu Zhiwei didn't fully understand her father's true strength.

Nevertheless, 75.2% was almost enough for Chen Gang.

"Thousand Faces Slash Moon" was his most potent ability, which he would adapt and learn from various aspects when dealing with any target.

By reading the perceptions people close to the target had of them and then integrating that information into "Thousand Faces Slash Moon."

This information is best when it's freshly collected because a person's strength can change at any moment. If information was gathered a few months or days ago, it might become obsolete if the person has a breakthrough the next day. This would render the collected data useless.

So all this had been designed by Chen Gang.

It would be more accurate to say that Chen Gang deliberately leaked the information to make Xue Mo foresee his presence at the mall, rather than say he was prophesized by Xue Mo to be there.

As the captain of the law enforcement team in the Eastern District, he was very aware of the workings of the enforcement department and knew exactly how to deal with these people.

On his system panel, there was a blue orb of light, within which flickered a cold, piercing gleam, incessantly intertwining.

This orb was all the information about Lu Hong.

He hadn't yet merged this reward into the mix; he wanted to use the orb at just the right moment!

As long as he could unleash it unexpectedly, this move would certainly kill Lu Hong!

——

The parking lot was dim; the lights hadn't been fully turned on, with only a few sporadically lit.

Lu Hong frantically searched the lot, all the while softly calling for Xiang Beifei through his glasses communicator, trying to pinpoint Beifei's location.

Beifei had said he was at parking space number 33, but now that Lu Hong was standing there, he saw no one, and there wasn't even a car parked.

"Beifei, answer me, where are you? Are you alright?"

Lu Hong searched the surroundings with caution.

He had a powerful Investigation System which could deduce traces of events that had occurred based on the scene.

Just now in the mall, because it was the weekend and there were too many customers coming and going, the scene was disrupted, and his Investigation System was held back, unable to determine where Lai Wuying was.

But the parking lot was relatively less crowded, and he began to search for traces following the footprints near parking space number 33.

"This trace, it was left by Beifei."

Lu Hong squatted on the ground, carefully distinguishing for a while. A gleam of Spiritual Power lit up in his hand, transforming into a stream of faint light that seeped into the ground. He then looked up at the fire sprinkler head above, frowning slightly, somewhat puzzled.

After a moment, he turned to look at another fire hydrant nearby. The scent remaining on Xiang Beifei's body had extended there.

"What exactly is this kid Beifei up to? He'd better not be in any trouble..."

Lu Hong was very anxious. Just as he was preparing to head towards the direction of the fire hydrant, a hurried running sound came from another direction.

Turning his head, he saw that it was his daughter, Lu Zhiwei, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"Shh, keep it down."

Lu Hong made a silencing gesture.

"Dad, I heard Beifei's cry for help. He said he was in the parking lot. Where is he?"

Lu Zhiwei came to a stop beside Lu Hong, looking around anxiously.

"I don't know. I'm searching for him." Lu Hong didn't take a closer look at Lu Zhiwei.

"It's all my fault. I told him to stay with Xue Mo, but he disappeared when I came back. What if something has happened to Beifei?" Lu Zhiwei said with a great sense of guilt.

"Now is not the time for self-reproach. Lai Wuying is likely nearby. Be careful, come here, stay close to me." Lu Hong gestured.

"Okay."

Lu Zhiwei quickly walked towards Lu Hong. A hint of cold light passed through her eyes, and she formed a scarcely noticeable cold smile on her lips, while her hand behind her back clutched tightly at a dagger.

Lu Hong, who had been running around the shopping mall, was somewhat exhausted and didn't take a good look at Lu Zhiwei. In fact, even if he had looked at her closely, it wouldn't have mattered.

Chen Gang knew Lu Hong's Investigation System too well. He knew exactly how to position himself so as not to be discovered by Lu Hong.

"Lu Hong oh Lu Hong, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame yourself for meddling in the past."

Chen Gang watched Lu Hong's back, slowly closing the distance between them.

If not for the lethal ability of Thousand Faces Slash Moon, even if he approached Lu Hong normally, it would be hard to assassinate him because of Lu Hong's Investigation System, which provided quick investigative abilities and extremely high Agility.

But this time he was fully prepared. As long as he was within the lethal distance, Thousand Faces Slash Moon would be able to place him in certain death!

Five steps!

Four steps!

...

However, just then, a voice came from behind them: "Hey! Lai Wuying!"

Lu Hong quickly turned around upon hearing the voice. Chen Gang was startled, and the dagger in his hand instantly disappeared.

That was close!

He nearly got discovered.

Chen Gang was secretly annoyed.

"Beifei!"

Seeing Xiang Beifei unharmed, Lu Hong immediately breathed easier.

However, he quickly became alert and asked, "Beifei, what did you just say? Where is Lai Wuying?"

The opportunity to assassinate had passed in an instant.

Rage flickered in Chen Gang's eyes, but he forcefully suppressed it, asking in Lu Zhiwei's concerned tone, "Beifei, are you okay? You had us so worried. We thought you got captured by Lai Wuying."

"Lai Wuying wouldn't come to capture me. I'm not his target."

Xiang Beifei stood next to the car, calmly looking at Chen Gang: "I'm right, am I not? Lu Zhiwei, or should I call you—Lai Wuying?"

Chen Gang, disguised as Lu Zhiwei, stiffened, saying, "Beifei, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm Xiao Wei, what Lai Wuying?"

Lu Hong looked at his daughter and then back at Xiang Beifei, asking, "Beifei, what are you talking about?"

"Uncle Lu, be careful; she's not Xiao Wei, but Lai Wuying!" Xiang Beifei stated.

Lu Zhiwei laughed: "Beifei, are you confused? How could I be Lai Wuying?"

"I not only know you're Lai Wuying, but I also know your name—you're Chen Gang!"

"What? Chen Gang?"

A shock ran through Lu Hong's mind!

Even Chen Gang almost let his disguise slip in alarm.

How does this kid know?
